Editor,

I wish the Rwanda Cycling team heading to Brazil to participate in the Tour do Jeneiro, the best of luck. Being the first time the Rwandan team heads out for the South American race adds some spice to the challenge.

This is a sign that the sport, like many others, has developed over time and contesting in Brazil is proof that the hard work is paying off.

I would like to urge the cyclists to give what it takes in South America. They are likely to have an edge over many competitors because the South American terrain will favour them, considering that they have been training on Rwanda’s hilly terrain.
